I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you should really take better care of your car.
As for what other damage might have been done, I'd say start with an alignment. You're going to need one after replacing a ball joint anyway. It's possible that the strut mount was damaged. Other than that I think you're probably okay. I think you're lucky - had this happened at high speed you would have been in trouble
Your front wheels are on backwards, by the way. I had to say it before somebody else did.

Actualy I did notice a VERY VERY SLIGHT nocking.. I thought it was
because I need new front struts. it was NEVER realy loud..
if you had the windows up... you wouldnt notice it unless you
were listening for it. And that does make alot of sence now too ;(
Anyway... HOPEFULLY everything else will be ok. At this point that
I actualy have an SVX... I dont care what it takes to get it looking
brand new again.. Im willing to do it.
